Course Overview

An exciting new course learning how to find your way around the sky. You will learn about astronomy including how to read easily understood star charts so as to find your way around the sky, what are the most exciting and interesting things to look at (and what they actually are) along with how to understand choosing and using a wide variety of telescopes and other optical aids so as to leave you better informed during your first steps in astronomy, taking the mystery out of what may on first glance look overwhelming. A friendly, approachable atmosphere where all questions are encouraged.

Please note there is no lesson on 28th May 2025.

You will need

An enquiring mind! A notebook would be helpful. A smart phone may be useful if you want to download some recommended planetarium and astronomy software so as to understand them during the class and as a ‘take away’ - but this is by no means essential, just something that many are in possession of!
